Ezek. 40:1‑41:26• 1In the twenty-fifth year of our captivity, in the beginning of the year, in the tenth day of the month, in the fourteenth year after that the city was smitten, in the self-same day the hand of Jehovah was upon me, and brought me thither.
2In the visions of God brought he me into the land of Israel, and set me upon a very high mountain, and upon it was as it were a city on the south.
3And he brought me thither, and, behold, there was a man, whose appearance was like the appearance of brass, with a line of flax in his hand, and a measuring reed; and he stood in the gate.
4And the man said unto me, Son of man, behold with thine eyes, and hear with thine ears, and set thine heart upon all that I shall show thee; for to the intent that I might show them unto thee art thou brought hither: declare all that thou seest to the house of Israel.
5{i}And behold, there was a{/i} wall on the outside of the house round about{i}, and in the man's hand a measuring-reed of six cubits, each of one cubit and a hand breadth. And he measured the breadth of the building, one reed; and the height, one reed.{/i}
6{i}And he came to the gate which looked toward the east, and went up its steps; and he measured the threshold of the gate, one reed broad; and the other threshold one reed broad.{/i}
7{i}And each chamber was one reed long and one reed broad; and between the chambers were five cubits; and the threshold of the gate, beside the porch of the gate within, was one reed.{/i}
8{i}And he measured the porch of the gate within, one reed.{/i}
9{i}And he measured the porch of the gate, eight cubits; and the posts thereof, two cubits; and the porch of the gate was inward.{/i}
10{i}And the chambers of the gate which was toward the east were three on this side and three on that side: they three were of one measure; and the posts on this side and on that side had one measure.{/i}
11{i}And he measured the breadth of the entry of the gate, ten cubits; and the length of the gate, thirteen cubits.{/i}
12{i}And there was a border before the chambers of one cubit, and a border of one cubit on the other side; and the chambers were six cubits on this side, and six cubits on that side.{/i}
13{i}And he measured the gate from the roof of one chamber to the roof of the other , a breadth of five and twenty cubits, entry opposite entry.{/i}
14{i}And he made posts, sixty cubits, and by the post was the court of the gate round about.{/i}
15{i}And from the front of the gate of the entrance unto the front of the porch of the inner gate were fifty cubits.{/i}
16{i}And there were closed windows to the chambers, and to their posts within the gate round about, and likewise to the projections; and the windows round about were inward; and upon each post were palm-trees.{/i}
17{i}And he brought me into the outer court, and behold, there were cells, and a pavement made for the court round about: thirty cells were upon the pavement.{/i}
18{i}And the pavement was by the side of the gates, answering to the length of the gates, namely the lower pavement.{/i}
19{i}And he measured the breadth from the front of the lower gate unto the front of the inner court outside, a hundred cubits eastward and northward.{/i}
20{i}And the gate of the outer court, that looked toward the north, he measured its length and its breadth.{/i}
21{i}And its chambers were three on this side and three on that side; and its posts and its projections were according to the measure of the first gate: its length was fifty cubits, and breadth five and twenty cubits.{/i}
22{i}And its windows, and its projections, and its palm-trees were according to the measure of the gate that looked toward the east; and they went up to it by seven steps; and the projections thereof were before them.{/i}
23{i}And the gate of the inner court was opposite to the gate toward the north, and toward the east; and he measured from gate to gate a hundred cubits.{/i}
24{i}And he brought me toward the south: and behold, there was a gate toward the south; and he measured its posts and its projections according to these measures.{/i}
25{i}And there were windows to it and to its projections round about, like those windows: the length was fifty cubits, and the breadth five and twenty cubits.{/i}
26{i}And there were seven steps to go up to it; and its projections were before them; and it had palm-trees, one on this side and one on that side, upon its posts.{/i}
27{i}And there was a gate to the inner court toward the south; and he measured from gate to gate toward the south, a hundred cubits.{/i}
28{i}And he brought me into the inner court by the south gate; and he measured the south gate according to these measures:{/i}
29{i}and its chambers, and its posts, and its projections, according to these measures; and there were windows to it and to its projections round about: the length was fifty cubits, and the breadth twenty-five cubits.{/i}
30{i}And there were projections round about, twenty-five cubits long, and five cubits broad.{/i}
31{i}And its projections were toward the outer court; and there were palm-trees upon its posts: and its ascent was by eight steps.{/i}
32{i}And he brought me into the inner court toward the east; and he measured the gate according to these measures:{/i}
33{i}and its chambers, and its posts, and its projections, according to these measures; and there were windows to it and to its projections round about: the length was fifty cubits, and the breadth twenty-five cubits.{/i}
34{i}And its projections were toward the outer court; and there were palm-trees upon its posts on this side and on that side: and its ascent was by eight steps.{/i}
35{i}And he brought me to the north gate, and he measured it according to these measures:{/i}
36{i}its chambers, its posts, and its projections; and there were windows to it round about: the length was fifty cubits, and the breadth twenty-five cubits.{/i}
37{i}And its posts were toward the outer court; and there were palm-trees upon its posts, on this side and on that side: and its ascent was by eight steps.{/i}
38{i}And there was a cell and its entry by the posts of the gates; there they rinsed the burnt-offering.{/i}
39{i}And in the porch of the gate were two tables on this side, and two tables on that side, to slay thereon the burnt-offering and the sin-offering and the trespass-offering.{/i}
40{i}And at the side without, at the ascent to the entry of the north gate, were two tables; and on the other side, which was at the porch of the gate, were two tables:{/i}
41{i}four tables on this side, and four tables on that side, by the side of the gate, —eight tables, whereon they slew the sacrifice ,{/i}
42{i}—and at the ascent, four tables of hewn stone, of a cubit and a half long, and a cubit and a half broad, and one cubit high; whereon also they laid the instruments with which they slew the burnt-offering and the sacrifice.{/i}
43{i}And the double hooks of a hand breadth were fastened round about within; and upon the tables they put the flesh of the offering.{/i}
44{i}And outside the inner gate were two cells in the inner court, one at the side of the north gate, and its front towards the south; the other was at the side of the south gate, the front towards the north.{/i}
45{i}And he said unto me, This cell whose front is towards the south is for the priests, the keepers of the charge of the house.{/i}
46{i}And the cell whose front is toward the north is for the priests, the keepers of the charge of the altar. These are the sons of Zadok, those who, from among the sons of Levi, approach unto Jehovah to minister unto him.{/i}
47{i}And he measured the court, the length a hundred cubits, and the breadth a hundred cubits, four square: and the altar was before the house.{/i}
48{i}And he brought me to the porch of the house; and he measured the post of the porch, five cubits on this side, and five cubits on that side; and the breadth of the gate, three cubits on this side, and three cubits on that side.{/i}
49{i}The length of the porch was twenty cubits, and the breadth eleven cubits, even by the steps whereby they went up to it; and there were pillars by the posts, one on this side, and one on that side.{/i}
1And he brought me to the temple; and he measured the posts, six cubits broad on the one side, and six cubits broad on the other side, the breadth of the tabernacle.
2And the breadth of the door [was] ten cubits, and the sides of the door five cubits on the one side, and five cubits on the other side; and he measured its length, forty cubits, and the breadth, twenty cubits
3Then went he inward, and measured the posts of the door, two cubits, and the door six cubits, and the breadth of the door seven cubits.
4So he measured its length twenty cubits, and the breadth twenty cubits, before the temple; and he said to me, This [is] the most holy.
5After this he measured the wall of the house, six cubits, and the breadth of a side-chamber, four cubits, round about the house on every side.
6And the side-chambers [were], one over another, three and thirty times; and they entered into the wall which [was] on the house, for the side-chambers round about, that they might be fastened on, but they were not fastened on the wall of the house.
7And as one wound upward it became continually wider for the side-chamber, for the row of chambers went more and more upward round about the house; therefore the breadth of the house [was] greater upward; and so they went up, the lowest to the highest, by the middle.
8And I saw the height of the house round about; the foundations of the side-chambers a full reed of six great cubits.
9The thickness of the wall which [was] for the side-chamber without [was] five cubits and that which was left, the place of the side-chamber, belonging to the house.
10And between the chambers is a breadth of twenty cubits about the house all round.
11And the doors of the side-chambers [were] toward the place left, one door toward the north, and another door toward the south; and the breadth of the place that was left was five cubits round about.
12And the building that was before the separate place at the end westward [was] seventy cubits broad; and the wall of the building [was] five cubits thick round about, and its length ninety cubits.
13So he measured the house, an hundred cubits; and the separate place, and the building with its walls, a hundred cubits long;
14and the breadth of the face of the house, and of the separate place toward the east, a hundred cubits.
15And he measured the length of the building over against the separate place which was behind it, and its galleries on the one side, and on the other side, one hundred cubits, with the inner temple, and the porches of the court,
16the door-posts, and the latticed windows, and the galleries round about on their three sides, opposite to the doorposts, a wainscoting of wood all round, and from the ground up to the windows, and the windows were covered.
17Over above the door, even to the inner house and the outer [a wainscoting], and on all the wall round about, within and without, by measures.
18And [it was] made with cherubim and palm-trees, a palm-tree being between two cherubim, and a cherub had two faces;
19and a man's face was towards the palm-tree on the one side, and a young lion's face towards the palm-tree on the other side; [it was] made through all the house round about.
20From the ground to above the door the cherubim and the palm-trees were made in the wall of the temple.
21The temple had four-cornered posts; and the front of the holy of holies, the appearance [was] as the appearance.
22The altar of wood [was] three cubits high, and its length two cubits; and its corners, and its top-piece, and its walls [were] of wood; and he said to me, This [is] the table that is before Jehovah.
23And the temple and the holy of holies had two doors.
24And the doors had two leaves, two turning leaves, two for the one door, and two leaves for the other.
25And [there were] made on them, on the doors of the temple, cherubim and palm-trees, as [were] made upon the walls, and a thick plank-work [was] upon the face of the porch without;
26and latticed windows and palm-trees on the one side, and on the other side, on the sides of the porch, and on the side-chambers of the house and the thick planks. (Ezek. 40:1‑41:26)
